Time for a Ballerina Tea

After our birthday party ballet class, the little girls were ready for teatime. Sweet pink touches were ballerina perfect, like these fresh pink tulips -- a request from the birthday girl.

Spray painted white, this wire dress form from Hobby Lobby sports a tutu made according to the directions in yesterday's post.

A pink satin bow tied around the waist adds a final feminine detail before the dress form is placed on the buffet.

Pink tulips, pink ribbon, pink napkins -- pink perfection!

Outside the weather was cold and dreary, but inside you could feel the warmth of spring. In order to seat all the girls together, we rented child-size tables and chairs from The Wedding Center in Montgomery (334-277-6443). Plates and napkins from Target. The pretty punch cups belonged to Joe's late grandmother, and I use them often. In fact, Emma's party is the third time I have used them this year!

Gorgeous, goreous, gorgeous! I love the pink theme. Your little girl and her friends are so lucky to be treated so royally. You truly do have a magic touch, Melissa! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com

Thanks, Debbi! My sister gave me those pretty pink plates and a matching footed cake plate, and I believe she found them at TJ Maxx. Emma's birthday is February 13th, so I always try to incorporate some hearts into her birthday decor. She is my early Valentine, after all!

OK, this is one of the most incredible tea parties I've seen yet, and I continue to be in awe of your many talents! If you lived here in my town in Georgia, I would be *begging* you to write for our magazine! (Do the folks at Tea Time magazine know about you? They should!)

Hi... I'm VERY interested in your invitations... Were they purchased somewhere or did you create them yourself? Either way I'd greatly appreciate it I you shared the info with me. Thanks so much!IndiraWilkerson@yahoo.com
